    When a modern gamer tries out an ancient game

    Regularly, though I stop at NES/original Gameboy/SNES/Genesis titles because they are rather easy to get and play with modern controllers. Would love to get my hands on a good Amiga 500 emulator, though. There were some absolutely awesome titles back then.

    Finally Finished Persona 5

    That was not the moment I meant, but thank you for making me laugh with this rather accurate describtion. :D Boy, this is hard to describe without spoilers: I was referring to a situation late in the game in which A character wasn't nice and got beat up for it. The way I remember it the story...

    Finally Finished Persona 5

    I needed about 90 hours to finish the game with the true ending and about everything I wanted to complete in it (thanks to an excellent schedule guide). I was hooked until I hit hour 70. The characters were likable, I enjoyed how the plot moved and I didn't see the story in the last 20 hours...

    Best Multiplayer Game?

    For me, I'd say Overwatch... if the team plays as a team. Then again, I'm definitly not an online gamer, so my experience is veeeery limited. Even so, I' ve got to hand it to Blizzard. They know how to get me into genres I usually stay far away from. Other than Overwatch I dipped into some...

    Games you've bought that you can't bring yourself to play

    Oh, I got some: Breath of the Wild I played about five hours and just can't get into it. There is something about it that wards me off completely - and I like every other of Nintendo's Zelda games. It's so completely alien from what I expect a Zelda title to be that it could very well be a...

    Stranger Things 2: Reactions?

    It was ok, but did something I started to hate since Walking Dead: Split up the group until the last minute. Season 1 was so good because, except for some Hopper Missions, always stayed with the Kids as a group and in the little town. And I hated Episode 2.7 when Sexeleven became a thing. A...

    What do you think are the most overrated video games of all time?

    The Last of Us ...because 90% of the involvement hinges on you caring for Ellie. And as I dislike children very much, there was (aside from the technical aspects) abolutely nothing special about the game.

    90s Cartoons That Have Aged Well

    The Maxx is, while obscure, still highly watchable. Batman Animated, Daria and Gargoyles as well. They could as well be called the blueprint from which a lot of TV stuff evolved.

    Great Movie Sound Tracks

    A really great example! I love the epicness of 'Requiem' and how beautifully the voices are used. There are a lot of cool and emotional OSTs out there. I think the current use of movie music to support the shown situation should revert a little bit back to times in which the score had defined...

    People You Hate Whom Everyone Else Loves

    'Hate' is top strong, but I habe a profound dislike of The Rock. Don't get why people find him charming at all. Also, Mel Gibson. But already waaay before he discredited himself ad the religious, racist nut.

    Blizzard is Tweaking Overwatch Loot Boxes to Drop Less Duplicates

    That's cool and all, but what I'd really like to see is a function to random unlocked costumes. I have about three per character that I really like, but only use one for long stretches. Aside from that: Less doublicates are definitely welcome. The drop rate stresses me out every time there...

    Question about a Wheel of Time plot point (Potential spoilers)

    Hello everyone! I'm currently in the middle of the 8th book and I think I skipped a rather important plot point: Could you guys explain why the Bowl of the Winds is so important for Egwene and the others? I seem to have completely blocked out why they are holding on to it. Was the...

    Overwatch Anniversary Kicks Off with New Skins, Dances, and New Arena Maps

    Ah, well... It's nice that we get three small new maps, but when do we get a new escort mission? Didn't think it would be so complicatesd to create a new location for not pushing the payload... The new skins are nice. Just hoped we would maybe get to play the fall of the original Overwatch in...

    Eidos Montreal Shoots Down Rumors of a New Thief Game

    This captures my reaction as well. I love the first three Thief games and was kinda OK with the fourth (lowered expectations through general reception), but... yeah. If they don't bother to keep the general feeling, for which I consider Keepers, Pagans and Hammerites quite essential, Squareenix...

    Games you restricted yourself from due to negative criticism

    Nope, never happened. If I'm interested in a game, I'm buying it. If I had listened to all the whiny entitled players, I'd have missed out on a lot of cool stuff that surprised me with a different art style or gameplay. When in doubt I always remember this one reviewer I was working with: He...
